CCleaner UAC when Monitoring and RDP


Recommended Posts

Morning,   love the product first off.

 

When I have Monitoring turn on (and love what it does)  works great,  I know you have a Scheduled Event to by-pass the UAC when logging on the pc..

 

But if you log in through RDP from a clean boot.. the UAC will appear everytime asking is it OK to run CCleaner.

 

This is a mirror issue. but can you correct the Scheduled Task to work via RDP also, not just local log on.

 

Thank Jerry

Actually, just from your description, it sounds like Microsoft forbids the command line extra arg0 which allows a program (any program) run as administrator without asking. For security reasons alone this is a good thing otherwise a malicious remote actor could execute root level access after a simple exploit of the task scheduler to create arg0 tasks. Sadly the only way to skipuac is via arg0

 

That said you could test my theory (I no longer have a computer I can remote into to test myself) by running ccleaner64.exe from commandline with the arg0 extra remotely. And see if it runs

 

ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION

DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF.

Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark)

ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.
